Pope Leo XIV's Workout Routine Revealed by His Trainer
Before becoming Pope, Leo XIV, originally from Peru, was just a regular guy named Robert who went to the gym in Rome.
His trainer was surprised to learn his client was the new Pope.
Pope Leo XIV worked out 2-3 times a week, doing cardio like walking on a treadmill and riding a stationary bike.
He also did exercises to strengthen his muscles, including his core, back, and shoulders.
Besides, he loved playing tennis.
The Pope's trainer says he's in excellent shape and very dedicated to his fitness routine, inspiring others to stay healthy.
Cardinal Robert Prevost, now Pope Leo XIV, was a regular gym-goer before his papacy.
He trained at Omega Gym in Rome, where his trainer was unaware of his high-ranking position.
His workout routine included cardio (treadmill or bike), strength training, and tennis.
He worked out consistently, 2-3 times a week, always with a positive attitude.
Pope Leo XIV's commitment to fitness is seen as an inspiration.
